No, that not correct, this one is an alterantive glyph for "metobelos". See http://books.google.cz/books?id=SIMsY6b2n2gC&pg=PA193&lpg=PA193&dq=metobelos&source=bl&ots=X89ohmkgZV&sig=wXFr86dnxikILZfd7iF2TaC9RLc&hl=cs&ei=MnVFTpy5EMr5sgaOiP3FBw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=7&ved=0CEMQ6AEwBg#v=onepage&q=metobelos&f=false Anyway, I found the suitable glyph as U+2A2A MINUS SIGN WITH DOT BELOW. > U+2E14 - Downwards Ancora Ok, this one is perhaps the right codepoint, unfortunatelly, all the fonts I checked had rather strange shape for this glyph (as has the unicode codetable :( ) Thanks a lot!
